Today is an important day in the effort to officially legalize and regulate online poker. The House Financial Services committee is hearing testimony today on Barney Frank's Bill, H.R. 2267, the “Internet Gambling Regulation, Consumer Protection, and Enforcement Act,” which would establish a licensed, regulated Internet gaming market in the United States.
Frank's bill has 69 co-sponsors and has received the support of an array of interests including banking institutions, brick and mortar gambling establishments and others concerned either about the difficulty in enforcing the current UIGEA limitations on online poker, or those who have a more libertarian view opposing what they view as governmental interference with private citizens. Frank's Bill has gained the support of the Chamber of Commerce, which issued a letter today endorsing the Bill.
A number of people will be speaking in favor of the bill today including poker pro and mom Annie Duke. Thanks to the Poker Players Aliance, the leading lobbying group support poker players rights, here is the transcript of Duke's testimony today.
